This is Ibrahim. I am the owner of Thoughtful Movers. I do not consider scratched furniture a great job. I would've appreciated a phone call so we could have taken care of the damage. We strive for excellence. Damage is unacceptable.

H&H Movers cancelled on us the first time and were a no-show the second day. Within 2 hours, Thoughtful Movers arrived and were ready to work. We had a couple of loads in the Uhaul and 40 steps up to our condo, but they worked the entire 4 hours without stopping. They got the job done in the exact amount of time that they quo…Read Moreted us. I would definitely recommend them again in the future.

Great guys! They are very polite, careful and efficient. They covered at the last minute for a different mover that didn't show and keep me accurately apprised of their location while en route and when they would arrive. They utilized every cubic inch available in my truck to maximize the load. I highly recommend and would use t…Read Morehem again!

Great workers, I'd hire them again! Showed up a few minutes early, had two dollies and rope, and worked relentlessly from start to finish. They handled annoying obstacles like a small elevator and extra flights of stairs without complaint. They were careful with items and gave good advice about loading the container to prevent s…Read Morehifting.

The Thoughtful Movers were very friendly, professional, and productive. They finished before the 2 hours and were very efficient in packing the truck. They were positive and confident with what they could pack because I thought I had so much. I recommend them to anyone who is looking to have their truck packed! I also wanted to …Read Moresay that I called for movers needed the same day and they arrived from DC within an hour and a half of my call. I though that was great time on such short notice.

They did a great job!! Thank you! They are proffessional and courteous. Moved our grandmothers furniture into the uhaul for us and finished ahead of time. It wasnt an easy move either, atypical ill just say that, and they were kind and understanding. Id reccommend them for sure!

We had an awful experience with a moving company that abandoned the job mid-move citing that their boss had not informed them that they had to reassemble our furniture upon arrival. Hireahelper salvaged our move by dispatching thoughtful helpers to finish the job. They were professional and efficient. They were prepared with the…Read More proper tooks. They worked well as a team and were pleasant to be around. We would definitely hire them again.

Thank you for your business Mr. Friddle. We are happy to have made moving day a little less stressful. Moving is what we do for a living so we always try to be prepared for any job or challenge we may meet. Enjoy your new home

These guys did a great job. Two guys for 4 hours to move our family in to our new home in MD.....showed up on time, worked really hard for 4 hours....and was very careful moving some big items in to the house. We have a basement and upstairs...not an easy move, but they did it all for us. It was a warm day and these guys hardly…Read More took a break. Moving is never a fun thing to do, but for sure having good help like this takes some of the sting out of it. I have another moving task in a month or so and I will use them again. Give them a call!!!

We appreciate your business Mr. McWhorter. I'm glad you are pleased with our service. At the end of the day it always good to be able reflect on the happy thoughts of helping someone. Looking forward to providing you with great service again. Enjoy your new home.

The workers were very polite, careful and on time. They were steady works and did not waste time.
They had some bubble wrap and lots of shrink wrap plus the blankets which were delivered with the pod by Pack Rat.
We furnished several more rolls of bubble wrap and cord to tie items to the walls of the pod.
They believed in…Read More wrapping wood furniture with the shrink wrap and our case it wasted a lot of space under tables which seemed like it could have been used for more items or boxes to fit into the pod.
When they told me the container was full; I checked it and felt they could add more to the container. With encouragement they did add 2 items. We added about 8 more items after they left.
I wish I would have controlled the actual packing of the pod more myself as I know I would been able to fit more into the pod. The weight still was 500# under the limit.
We felt this crew did not have a great deal of experience at this type of packing at this time.
Thank you, Kathleen Fox

I have been in this industry for over 15 years and as professionals we value the safety of your items more than trying to get everything in the truck. We want you to arrive at your destination with everything in tact. If you did not want your items wrapped it would have been good to mention it. Last but very important is the fact that we asked was there anything left, you said no and that was the end of this job. Communicate while we are serving you I think we can get better results.

On time, worked hard, polite and respectful. Delante, Cedric and CJ were helpful, friendly, and stayed focused on the job. They showed in street clothes, not any uniform or shirt, so initially I wasn't sure - but after that they were just like any moving crew I've used in the past. Good, solid work, no complaints. I'd ask for t…Read Moreheir help again. Thanks guys!

This is a small business and it shows in their lack of professionalism. For easy reading, I will provide bullets:
Cons:
-Late for appointment and didn't call until I called them; had to reschedule for the next morning.
-Late for the appointment the next morning without a call.
-Wasted at least 15 minutes of the 2-hour win…Read Moredow talking on the cell phone.
-I expected them to move with a sense of urgency since they charge by the hour (and were late twice), but instead slowly walked back from the storage pod to the apartment. Lot of wasted time here.
-Seemed inexperienced as movers because they did not understand very basic packing concepts (heavy stuff toward the front of the truck)
-Disregarded 'Fragile' warnings on boxes (carrying the box on its side where there was very clearly an arrow showing the up direction)
Pros:
-They came with a third person; he was much older and had limited capacity to move heavy things, but made an effort
-The guys were very polite and followed instructions when specifically directed.
-All furniture that needed to be moved was moved, in spite of their slow pace.

I'm the owner of this company and one of the workers on this job. I have never talked on the phone for 15 min. while working but I do answer for other customers. Keys to a loaded truck were packed away by a customer causing a major delay as I explained during my call to you. The problem with this job was you micromanaging professionals. We moved everything the way you wanted us to against our suggestions. We're very competent and diligent workers as you should read underneath all your dishonesty

Showed up an hour late due to traffic, which wasn't a big deal. When they got here, they were fast, professional and got the job done in under the alotted time. They were careful and brought moving dollies, which was key. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

They came within 30 minutes of the arrival of the truck and had it unloaded within the 2 hours. Lloyd and Ibrahim were very professional and very efficient. I would recommend highly. They were courteous and conscientious. I would definitely use them again, and specifically request these two hard workers. I had my boxes labe…Read Moreled with colored stickers to place the boxes in the areas desired and they were very willing to let me mark the numbers and colors off my list as they brought them into the house. They helped me pick up the extra boxes and place them where the recycling goes. I was most appreciative of their work ethic.

Thank you for your business Mrs. Baker. Moving day often has its quirks and unfortunately it was an error with your address. Hire A Helper is a great company we are happy to work with. We will not leave you stuck with furniture to move. We make adjustments and make it happen for our customers. Enjoy your new home:)

We scheduled two movers for two hours. The original company that we booked cancelled 48 hours before our move and Thoughtful Movers was able to help us at the last minute, which was awesome. However, on the morning of our move only one mover showed up. He was very apologetic for missing a partner and as a mover he was great. The…Read More whole morning he was helpful, considerate and very friendly. We were glad that he was there!
Adjusting our payment with Hire A Helper was easy.
Overall, it was a pretty positive experience - they helped us out in a pinch and sent a fantastic helper. I just wish they could have sent two movers!

This is Ibrahim Mrs Noorbakhsh. I am the owner of this company and I apologize for only one person working. I sent two but fired one when they got there as I was informed he was moving sluggishly before their arrival. It was his first day to train with Immanuel and I made it his last. Laziness is not a part of our character. We were not able to send anyone else for you, but I am glad to know it was a positive experience and your moving day was less stressful. Thank you for your business.

The "Thoughtful Movers" were fun to work with. They traveled through super heavy traffic at rush hour to come help us unload a rental truck. This was a last minute reservation and they arrived ready to work with positive attitudes. Every request we made received a quick response from them. They were a little rough on newly p…Read Moreainted walls but we greatly appreciated their help.
Yes, we would call them again.

Thoughtful Movers arrived on time and called me to let me know when they would come. They carefully moved all my furniture in my house (I watched them), even the pieces I didn't think would fit up the stairs and down the basement stairs. They are experienced at moving difficult pieces of furniture. They did not scratch the fl…Read Moreoor. They even put the mirror on my dresser, which is not an easy task. I highly recommend their services and would like to move with them in the future.

Thoughtful Movers did a great job for me. They prompty called me back after making an online appointment and confirmed taking the job and the cost. The two young men arrived prompty at the scheduled time and were ready to begin working right away. They were professional, pleasant, and efficient, moving quite a few pieces of furn…Read Moreiture and boxes into a Cargo Van. They packed very meticulously but quickly and managed to get everything in, thus only requiring one trip (and no additional charges). The billing process was simple and accurate.

On very short notice, Thoughtful Movers accepted a tough manual labor job at my home. When the original crew did not arrive at the agreed time, the business owner and a helper immediately came over and did a very satisfactory job for me. I would strongly recommend this company.

I must say, I was completely impressed with these helpers. They showed up on time, immediately went right to work and didn't waste any time moving the items I needed moving. They were fast, yet they took the time to move the items the right way and didn't damage any walls or furniture. They were professional, courteous and respe…Read Morectful of my items and of me as a customer and as an added bonus, their price was by far better than the other companies. I'm sure that other companies do a good job as well, but sometimes it's better to go with a new start up company( like this one) and give them a chance to earn your business. I will most certainly use the services again of "Thoughtful Movers and Cleaners" and I will also spread the word. First class service. Thanks to Mr.J. for a job well done!
